Hand pulled at the Wellington, Birmingham. Very sweet, peppery; with jammy malt and sugar hop. Some dry biscuit mixed in the finish. Bitter. OK.

A - Extreme Malty nuttiness A - Dark orange with thick white head T - Sweet and sour with full lasting bitter P - Medium and soft O - Too Malty for this guy

Cask @ Snow Goose, Inverness 070711 Appearance - Light brown-amber, clear, 1 finger dense white head. Aroma - light biscuit malt, some bitter hop, slight diacetyl - not much on the nose. Taste - fruity bitter hops, bit of butterscotch. Lingering bitter, dry, bit metallic finish. Just standard bitter. Nothing special.

Cask conditioned at The Old Contemptibles, Birmingham. Gold with white head. Rich fruitiness, peaches, slightly acidic, nicely dry and bitter. Really pretty reasonable.
